But weren’t her parents former Qs who’d given up/been stripped of their powers by the Continuum and turned into humans before she was born?
To quote my late father: “He’s not gay, just theatrical.”
Something like that, yeah. Still, the point is, it wasn’t all that long since the last New Q.
The Organians did not appear again in ST continuity after the events in “Errand of Mercy,” but they were the basis of the 4th season Enterprise episode “Observer Effect.” Reed and Mayweather play hosts to two Organians who are observing the crew’s reaction to a virus which has been contracted by Trip and Hoshi. The Organians are on the Enterprise to determine whether the member species are advanced enough to make first contact with them. As the disease progresses, it causes them to call their policy of non-interference into question. The Organians start working on a process for first contact which later comes to pass in the 23rd century.
He’s also a Klingon.
I saw the title of this thread and knew exactly where it was going. And in my personal canon, yep, he’s a Q.
Hijack: The Q obviously are distinct individuals. They have independent wills that can collide with one another, as in “The Q and the Gray.” The Q Continuum is not like the Borg Collective – and even the Borg have individual designations. So, why do all Q have the same name?
The Q don’t use names at all in the Continuum, it’s just an artefact of they’re dealing with humans, who do, that they end up acting like they’re all named Q.
When “Encounter at Farpoint” was first aired (a week before my wedding) I clearly remember saying to The Wife: “Trelane has grown from a spoiled child to a know-it-all teenager!”
She looked at me with the condescending look reserved for spontaneous demonstrations of geekery.
They only seem to call one another the same name. Since they have no trouble distinguishing among themselves when they are talking in a group, clearly there is some distinction in the way they say Q that is too subtle for mortals to discern, but nonetheless obvious to them.
Nah, that’s just a bizarre quirk you can pick up when you have a very common name. Back in high school I gamed at a place that had 5 or 6 Marks show up on any given Tuesday. We always knew which of us was being addressed when one of the Marks was talking, but anyone else who tried to just use “Mark” invariably got a response from the wrong one.
Drove the non-Marks insane, it did.
I for one, don’t think Trelane was a Q.
Trelane seems to come from a recognizable family unit (‘you must forgive our child’), whereas Q (and the other Q we’ve seen) show no evidence of families or even of biology.
It is implied in the dialogue at the end of the episode, by his parents, that whatever species he belongs to ages and matures. “You’ll grow up, Trelane.”
Trelane relies at least partially on a device to enhance, control or generate his power. No Q uses such a device.
And finally… there’s just no reason for it. Just because the two characters are both immensely powerful, there’s no reason to assume that they MUST be the same species. The Organians have inconceivable power, are they Q, too?
I very much like the idea that there are more races out in the Star Trek universe than we can count. No need to start condensing them together.

I think the reason people link Trelane and Q is that the former acts lik ea younger and brattier version of the John deLancie Q; it’s not the super-powers. No one finds Trelane reminiscent of the Prophets or Organians.
If I were to commit to the fanwank, which I’m not going to (like it matters 
), I’d agree that Trelane is the child of the deLancie Q and the Suzie Plakson Q, in his very early childhood. The continuum is outside the normal time stream, after all. Q-Junior decided he wanted to emulate Daddy, so he want to the “normal” universe seeking out the Federation starship Enterprise; he just picked the wrong one.
A neutral zone is not mentioned in any TOS episode. The purpose of the Romulan neutral zone is to separate the Romulans from the Federation - while the Klingons and the Federation clearly had their own territories, there was never any mention of violation of a neutral zone when their ships met. A DMZ, perhaps,
What about Apollo, is he a Q too?
I think the most powerful alien was Kevin in the Survivors. A creature so powerful that he wiped out an entire species (50 billion) everywhere with a single thought.
Even the Q would be terrified of him. That’s one guy you don’t want to piss off. Kevin was a Douwd.

Klingon Neutral zone was specifically mentioned in TWOK and ST VI. (I don’t recall if it is mentioned in ST-V).
While they are not TOS television episodes, they still occur in the (later) TOS timeframe, and are considered canon.
Gawd, you just had to drag the Marklars into it didnt you?
As for the human half Q girl, IIRC her parents were Q who chose to actually become human to have a human child (who might end up being Q ish (not that there is anything wrong with that)). Also, not sure if their chosing human form was temporary or permanent.
